O'Gee Golf & Country Club

This course is difficult because it requires many blind approach shots to the greens. In addition, many of the fairways are doglegs and the terrain is hilly. The fairways are wide open and water hazards come into play on many holes.

Course Reviews

Pebble Creek Country Club"Not exactly what you'd expect in Aggieland"Nice layout. Much of central Texas doesn't have the same topography that an Austin or San Antonio can provide, but there were plenty of trees and some slight uphill/downhill despite a generally flat piece of ground. We happened to play on a day when the weather was poor. The wet conditions had us as the only players on the course. The price seemed at little steep as the lone players - $65.00 which included cart, but no range balls. The carts did have plex glass wind shields which was nice for the late fall and early winter. The course was over seeded, which made the fairways and greens very nice. The greens rolled true. There is a lot of water in play over the entire golf course. the design on several of the holes didn't seem like it fit a traditional risk/reward philosophy. For example on #1 and #10 (both par 5's), hitting a second shot over the water would still leave you 40 or 50 yards from the green, where as a 6-8iron lay-up would still leave a wedge. (Maybe Michelle or Tiger could get there?) Numbers #9 and #18 seemed to be the same type example. Water creeps out across the fairway on number 9 - driver is a risky play, but anything less and you've got a 200 yard-uphill approach or so. (I will say lack of roll in wet conditions would have just meant a lesser club off the tee because carrying the water with a driver wasn't an option) Much the same applies to number 18, although the approach was a few yards less. A lot of sand and a lot of water with some skinny necks in the dog legs on some holes is the reader's digest version.
Shop staff was nice. Grill was available and had good selection. ---Anonymous, Waco, TX

Stonebridge Golf Links & Country Club""The Big Chief""Nice Club! Clean, well-run, and good coarse layout! I've played here since the 60's, and allthough it's changed hands, it's still the one I prefer in Hauppauge. .........who's the (enterprising)young man selling "Refreshments" thru the gate at merrivale drive? - We allways get a kick outta him, - nice kid!---Bernardo, "Nardy" Sertleman, Smithtown

Ferncroft Country Club - Championship Course"Scott B"I've placed hundreds of courses in this country and Ferncroft for a resort club is one of the better places to play! For a private resort the cost of greens fees are perhaps a bit expensive, but you have to willling to pay to play one of the better well run courses in the area! The Bent grass on the fairways and greens are always well maintained. The layout is challenging for a course of just over 6,600 yards from the tips.
They've just rebuilt the 3rd Green and 4th Tee. From time to time depending on the season they may have some standing water issues. From what I've been told by the Director of Golf they are taking care of this in the near future with a new irrigation system.---Scott Bronstein, Peabody, MA

Manasquan River Golf Club"What a jewel!"As described, hilly front 9, blind shots, sidehill lies, fast greens...backside links style, flat but river and ocean breezes can wreak havoc...it has been re-rated and the rough grown to 5 inches...if you can play here, you can play anywhere. Apparently their members have won a number of NJ Amateur championships as well as participated in US Opens...speaks to the challenge of this layout.---Michael, Philadelphia
